Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000

Dear Phill:

This letter sets forth the substance of the separation and consulting agreement (the “Agreement”) that Everspin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is offering to you. 

1. SEPARATION.  Your last day of work with the Company and your employment termination date will be August 31, 2017 (the “Separation Date”). 

2. ACCRUED SALARY.  On the Separation Date, the Company will pay you all accrued salary earned through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings.  You are entitled to this payment by law.

3. SEVERANCE BENEFITS.  If you sign this Agreement, allow it to become effective, and remain in compliance with your legal and contractual obligations to the Company, then the Company will provide you with the following severance benefits:

a. Cash Severance.  The Company will pay you, as severance, the equivalent of twelve (12) months of your base salary in effect as of the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings.  This amount will be paid in equal installments on the Company’s normal payroll cycle beginning on the first regular payday no earlier than one week after the Effective Date, as defined in paragraph 13 below.

b. Pro-Rata Bonus.  You will receive a prorated bonus for 2017 (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”), to be paid at the same time as when bonuses are paid to the remaining executive team, but no later than March 15, 2018.

c. Accelerated Vesting.  During your employment, you were granted certain equity interests (the “Awards”). The Company will accelerate the vesting of the Awards such that, as of the Separation Date, you will be deemed vested in those Awards that would have vested in the twelve (12) months following the Separation Date had you remained employed. 

d. Extension of Post-Termination Exercise Period.  The Company will amend the Awards such that the Awards will remain exercisable through August 31, 2018 (but in no event beyond the term of the applicable Award).  This amendment may affect the tax treatment of the Awards, and thus you are encouraged to seek independent tax advice.  Except as expressly set forth in Sections 3.c and 3.d of this Agreement, the Awards shall continue to be governed in all respects by the terms of the applicable equity plans and Award agreements.

4. HEALTH INSURANCE.    To the extent provided by the federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws, and by the Company’s current group health insurance policies, you will be eligible to continue your group health insurance benefits at your own expense following the Separation Date.  Later, you may be able to convert to an individual policy through the provider of the Company’s health insurance, if you wish.  You will be provided with a separate notice describing your rights and obligations under COBRA.  As an additional benefit under this Agreement, provided that you timely elect continued coverage under COBRA, then the Company shall reimburse you for the COBRA premiums to continue your health insurance coverage (including coverage for eligible dependents, if applicable) through the period starting on the Separation Date and ending on the earliest to occur of: (a) twelve (12) months following the Separation Date; (b) the date you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer; or (c) the date you cease to be eligible for COBRA coverage for any reason.  You must timely pay your premiums, and then provide the Company with proof of same, to obtain reimbursement for your COBRA premiums under this Section 4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay the COBRA premiums without a substantial risk of violating applicable law, then the Company instead shall pay you a fully taxable cash payment equal to the remaining COBRA premiums due under this Section 4, subject to applicable tax withholdings, which you may, but are not obligated to, use toward the cost of COBRA premiums.  

5. CONSULTING AGREEMENT.  If you timely sign this Agreement and allow it to become effective, then the Company will engage you as a consultant under the terms set forth below. 

a. Consulting Period.  You will serve as a consultant to the Company beginning on September 1, 2017, and ending on February 28, 2018 (the “Consulting Period”), unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5(j). 

b. Consulting Services.  As a consultant, you will be responsible for assisting the Company in any area of your expertise, as reasonably requested by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer (the “Consulting Services”).  It is anticipated that you will provide eight hours of Consulting Services per week.  You will conduct the Consulting Services offsite, unless otherwise requested by the Company.  You will exercise the highest degree of professionalism and utilize your expertise and creative talents in performing the Consulting Services.

c. Consulting Fee.  Provided that you (i) perform the Consulting Services to the Company’s satisfaction (as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion), and (ii) comply with your continuing legal and contractual obligations to the Company (including, without limitation, the obligations set forth herein), then the Company will pay you consulting fees equal to $10,000 per month.  You will also be reimbursed for any reasonable business expenses incurred during the Consulting Period, provided that you must obtain pre-approval in writing of any expense over $1,000.

d. Equity.  You and the Company agree that during the Consulting Period, the Awards will cease vesting, however you will remain in continuous service for purposes of exercisability. 

e. Tax Treatment.  The Company will not make any withholdings or deductions, and will issue you a form 1099, with respect to any consulting fees paid to you. You will be responsible for all taxes with respect to the consulting fees, and you agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Company from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, taxes, fines or penalties sought or recovered by any governmental entity, including but not limited to the Internal Revenue Service or any state taxing authority, arising out of or in connection with the consulting fees. 

f. Independent Contractor Status.  You agree that during the Consulting Period, (i) you will be an independent contractor to the Company and not an employee of the Company, and (ii) the Company will not make payments for state or federal income tax, FICA (social security and Medicare), make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers’ compensation insurance on your behalf.

g. Protection of Information.  You agree that during the Consulting Period and thereafter, you will not use or disclose any confidential or proprietary information or materials of the Company that you obtain or develop in the course of performing consulting services for the Company.  Any and all work product you create in the course of performing consulting services for the Company will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.  You hereby assign to the Company all right, title, and interest in all inventions, techniques, processes, materials, and other intellectual property developed in the course of performing consulting services for the Company.

h. Limitations on Authority.  You will have no responsibilities or authority as a consultant to the Company other than as provided above.  You agree not to represent or purport to represent the Company in any manner whatsoever to any third party except with my prior written consent.  

i. Standards of Conduct; Noncompetition.  You agree not to engage in any conduct during the Consulting Period that is detrimental to the interests of the Company.  You further agree during the Consulting Period that you will not, directly or indirectly, as an officer, director, employee, consultant, owner, manager, member, partner, or in any other capacity solicit, perform, or provide, or attempt to perform or provide Conflicting Services in the United States, nor will you assist another person to solicit, perform or provide or attempt to perform or provide Conflicting Services in the United States.  You and the Company agree that for purposes of this Agreement, “Conflicting Services” means any product, service, or process or the research and development thereof, of any person or organization other than the Company that is substantially similar to or competitive with a product, service, or process, including the research and development thereof, of the Company. 

j. Termination of Consulting Period.  You may terminate the Consulting Period, at any time and for any reason, upon ten (10) days written notice to the Company.  The Company may only terminate the Consulting Period upon your material breach of any of the obligations in this Agreement.  Upon termination of the Consulting Period by either party, the Company will have no further obligations to you, including any obligation to pay you further consulting fees. 

6. OTHER COMPENSATION OR BENEFITS.  You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you will not receive any additional compensation, severance, or benefits after the Separation Date.   You further expressly acknowledge and agree that the severance benefits being provided to you under this Agreement are more generous than the severance benefits you are eligible to receive under the terms of your Executive Employment Agreement with the Company dated April 25, 2016 (the “Employment Agreement”), and are being provided in lieu of such benefits.  As such, you acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to, and will not receive, any severance benefits under the Employment Agreement.

7. EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS.  You agree that, within ten (10) days after the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement.  The Company will reimburse you for these expenses pursuant to its regular business practice.

RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY.  By the Separation Date, you agree to return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property within your possession, custody or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, drawings, records, business plans and forecasts, financial information, specifications, computer-recorded information, tangible property (including, but not limited to), credit cards, entry cards, identification badges, and keys; and, any materials of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof); provided, however, that you are permitted to retain any Company property that is necessary for the performance of your services under the Consulting Agreement (including your Company laptop, which you may retain during the Consulting Period, but will be required to return to the Company upon the termination of the Consulting Period). 

9. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OBLIGATIONS.  You acknowledge your continuing obligations under your Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  

10. NONDISPARAGEMENT.  You agree not to disparage the Company, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, and agents, in any manner likely to be harmful to its or their business, business reputation or personal reputation; and the Company (through its directors) agrees not to disparage you in any manner likely to be harmful to you or your business, business reputation or personal reputation; provided that you and the Company will respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process. 

11. NO ADMISSIONS.   You understand and agree that the promises and payments in consideration of this Agreement shall not be construed to be an admission of any liability or obligation by the Company to you or to any other person, and that the Company makes no such admission.

EXHIBIT A

Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement

EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by Everspin Technologies, Inc. (“Company”), and the compensation paid to me now and during my employment with the Company, I agree to the terms of this Agreement as follows:

1.   Confidential Information Protections.

1.1   Nondisclosure; Recognition of Company’s Rights.  At all times during and after my employment, I will hold in confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon, or publish any of Company’s Confidential Information (defined below), except as may be required in connection with my work for Company, or as expressly authorized by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Company.  I will obtain the Board’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, oral, or otherwise) that relates to my work at Company and/or incorporates any Confidential Information.  I hereby assign to Company any rights I may have or acquire in any and all Confidential Information and recognize that all Confidential Information shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company and its assigns.

1.2   Confidential Information.  The term “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all confidential knowledge, data or information related to Company’s business or its actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, including without limitation (a) trade secrets, inventions, ideas, processes, computer source and object code, data, formulae, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, and techniques; (b) information regarding products, services, plans for research and development, marketing and business plans, budgets, financial statements, contracts, prices, suppliers, and customers; (c) information regarding the skills and compensation of Company’s employees, contractors, and any other service providers of Company; and (d) the existence of any business discussions, negotiations, or agreements between Company and any third party.

1.3   Third Party Information.  I understand that Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.  During and after the term of my employment, I will hold Third Party Information in strict confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for Company) or use, Third Party Information, except in connection with my work for Company or unless expressly authorized by an officer of Company in writing.

1.4   No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others.  I represent that my employment by Company does not and will not breach any agreement with any former employer, including any noncompete

agreement or any agreement to keep in confidence or refrain from using information acquired by me prior to my employment by Company.  I further represent that I have not entered into, and will not enter into, any agreement, either written or oral, in conflict with my obligations under this Agreement.  During my employment by Company, I will not improperly make use of, or disclose, any information or trade secrets of any former employer or other third party, nor will I bring onto the premises of Company or use any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or other third party, in violation of any lawful agreements with that former employer or third party.  I will use in the performance of my duties only information that is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to my own, is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or is otherwise provided or developed by Company.

2.   Inventions.

2.1   Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Invention” means any ideas, concepts, information, materials, processes, data, programs, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, artwork, formulae, other copyrightable works, and techniques and all Intellectual Property Rights in any of the items listed above.  The term “Intellectual Property Rights” means all trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, mask work rights, patents and other intellectual property rights recognized by the laws of any jurisdiction or country.

2.2   Prior Inventions.  I have disclosed on Exhibit A a complete list of all Inventions that (a) I have, or I have caused to be, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed, or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment by Company; (b) in which I have an ownership interest or which I have a license to use; (c) and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”).  If no Prior Inventions are listed in Exhibit A, I warrant that there are no Prior Inventions.  I agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions (defined below) without Company’s prior written consent. If, in the course of my employment with Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company process, machine or other work, I hereby grant Company a non-exclusive, perpetual, fully-paid and royalty-free, irrevocable and worldwide license, with rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, to reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display in any form or medium, whether now known or later developed, make, have made,

use, sell, import, offer for sale, and exercise any and all present or future rights in, such Prior Invention.

2.3   Assignment of Company Inventions.  Inventions assigned to the Company or to a third party as directed by the Company pursuant to the section titled “Government or Third Party” are referred to in this Agreement as “Company Inventions.”  Subject to the section titled “Government or Third Party” and except for Inventions that I can prove qualify fully under the provisions of a Specific Inventions Law (as defined below) and I have set forth in Exhibit A, I hereby assign and agree to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Intellectual Property Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to Company all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Intellectual Property Rights with respect thereto) made, conceived, reduced to practice, or learned by me, either alone or with others, during the period of my employment by Company.

2.4   Specific Inventions Law.  I recognize that, in the event of a specifically applicable state law, regulation, rule or public policy (“Specific Inventions Law”), this Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any invention which qualifies fully for protection under a Specific Inventions Law by virtue of the fact that any such invention was, for example, developed entirely on my own time without using the company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secrets and neither related to the company’s actual or anticipated business, research or development, nor resulted from work performed by me for the Company.  Examples of Specific Inventions Laws include California Labor Code Section 2870 and the Revised Code of Washington Section 49.44.140. 

2.5   Obligation to Keep Company Informed.  While employed with the Company and for one (1) year after my employment ends, I will promptly and fully disclose to the Company in writing (a) all Inventions I author, conceive or reduce to practice, either alone or with others and including any that might be covered under a Specific Inventions Law, and (b) all patent applications I file or in which I am named as an inventor or co-inventor.

2.6   Government or Third Party.  I agree that, as directed by the Company, I will assign to a third party, including without limitation the United States, all my right, title, and interest in and to any particular Company Invention. 

2.7   Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights and Assistance.  During and after the period of my employment, I will assist Company in every proper way to obtain and enforce United States and foreign Intellectual Property Rights relating to Company Inventions in all countries.  If the Company is unable to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with such purposes,

I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act on my behalf to execute and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further such purposes with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

2.8   Incorporation of Software Code.  I agree that I will not incorporate into any Company software or otherwise deliver to Company any software code licensed under the GNU General Public License or Lesser General Public License or any other license that, by its terms, requires or conditions the use or distribution of such code on the disclosure, licensing, or distribution of any source code owned or licensed by Company.

3.   Records.  I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that is required by the Company) of all Inventions made by me during the period of my employment by the Company, which records shall be available to, and remain the sole property of, the Company at all times.

4.   Additional Activities.  I agree that (a) during the term of my employment by Company, I will not, without Company’s express written consent, engage in any employment or business activity that is competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with my employment by, Company, and (b) for the period of my employment by Company and for one (l) year thereafter, I will not, either directly or indirectly, solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, independent contractor, or consultant of Company to terminate his, her or its relationship with Company in order to become an employee, consultant, or independent contractor to or for any other person or entity.

5.   Return Of Company Property.  Upon termination of my employment or upon Company’s request at any other time, I will deliver to Company all of Company’s property, equipment, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Inventions, Third Party Information or Confidential Information and certify in writing that I have fully complied with the foregoing obligation.  I agree that I will not copy, delete, or alter any information contained upon my Company computer or Company equipment before I return it to Company.  In addition, if I have used any personal computer, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any Company information, including but not limited to, Confidential Information, I agree to provide the Company with a computer-useable copy of all such Confidential Information and then permanently delete and expunge such Confidential Information from those systems; and I agree to provide the Company access to my system as reasonably requested to verify that the necessary copying and/or deletion is completed.  I further agree that any property

situated on Company’s premises and owned by Company is subject to inspection by Company’s personnel at any time with or without notice.  Prior to the termination of my employment or promptly after termination of my employment, I will cooperate with Company in attending an exit interview and certify in writing that I have complied with the requirements of this section.

6.   Notification Of New Employer.  If I leave the employ of Company, I consent to the notification of my new employer of my rights and obligations under this Agreement, by Company providing a copy of this Agreement or otherwise.

7.   General Provisions.

7.1   Governing Law and Venue.  This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Arizona, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. I expressly consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts for the county in which Company’s principal place of business is located for any lawsuit filed there against me by Company arising from or related to this Agreement.

7.2   Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

7.3   Survival.  This Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment and the assignment of this Agreement by Company to any successor or other assignee and be binding upon my heirs and legal representatives.

7.4   Employment.  I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement shall give me any right to continued employment by Company, and it will not interfere in any way with my right or Company’s right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause and with or without advance notice.

7.5   Notices.  Each party must deliver all notices or other communications required or permitted under this Agreement in writing to the other party at the address listed on the signature page, by courier, by certified or registered mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), or by a nationally-recognized express mail service.  Notice will be

effective upon receipt or refusal of delivery.  If delivered by certified or registered mail, notice will be considered to have been given five (5) business days after it was mailed, as evidenced by the postmark.  If delivered by courier or express mail service, notice will be considered to have been given on the delivery date reflected by the courier or express mail service receipt. Each party may change its address for receipt of notice by giving notice of the change to the other party.

7.6   Injunctive Relief. I acknowledge that, because my services are personal and unique and because I will have access to the Confidential Information of Company, any breach of this Agreement by me would cause irreparable injury to Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and, therefore, will entitle Company to injunctive relief (including specific performance).  The rights and remedies provided to each party in this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to such party at law or in equity.

7.7   Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of that provision or any other provision on any other occasion.

7.8   Export.  I agree not to export, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Company or any products utilizing such data, to countries outside the United States, because such export could be in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.

7.9   Entire Agreement.  If no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of inventions during any period in which I was previously employed or am in the future employed by Company as an independent contractor, the obligations pursuant to sections of this Agreement titled “Confidential Information Protections” and “Inventions” shall apply.  This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior communications between us with respect to such matters.  No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, or any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by me and an authorized representative of Company.  Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

This Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my employment with Company.

☒ None

☐ See immediately below:

0. Xxxxxxx Exclusion Notification. 

This is to notify you in accordance with any applicable Specific Inventions Law that the foregoing Agreement between you and Company does not require you to assign or offer to assign to Company any Invention that you develop entirely on your own time without using Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information, except for those Inventions that either:

a. Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice to Company’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or

b. Result from any work performed by you for Company.

To the extent a provision in the foregoing Agreement purports to require you to assign an Invention otherwise excluded from the preceding paragraph, the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

This limited exclusion does not apply to any patent or Invention covered by a contract between Company and the United States or any of its agencies requiring full title to such patent or Invention to be in the United States.
